I would suggest that something be done about the clutter of formation ability icons. Currently, I have crusaders with so many icons that they are overlapping left and right and are often impossible to mouse-over. In addition, changes in formation abilities seem to cause the icons to disappear and then animate as they reappear, meaning they often vanish half-way through reading.

My suggestion is that these hard-to-read icons be replaced by a single permanent icon, which when clicked, gives you a popup listing all the formation abilities currently applied to the crusader.

Agree with OP. I think it's a great idea to be able to easily toggle those bubbles off and on. It's a sloggy incomprehensible mess, hard to pick out individual ones. Plus, need to have ability to show COmplete lists of active formation abilities on mouse-over of crusaders. The way it works now, mousing over active crusaders often gives incomplete lists of a few active abilities, followed by '+5 More' or whatever.
